Wife and I joined several of our 'dockmates' up at the Warf in Washington, D.C. this past weekend. It was HOT as Haiti, but there was plenty of libations and good times flowing. I threw my Insta360 X3 camera on the back of the boat to catch some footage on the way back to the marina. Hope you all enjoy..... https://digitaledgephotography.zenfolio.com/p998075658/e96d505f2 Have an awesome time in Gatlinburg to those that are going. I sure wanted to be there..... Be safe and have fun!

For them & anyone else interested, the Swiss Post is issuing 4 L.O.T.R. stamps to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his passing. Beautiful artwork!
